The Liverpool Screen School seeks a highly motivated individual with 
expertise in the technical aspects of film making (production and post 
production) to join our Film Studies programme team.


The Liverpool Screen School forms part of LJMU's Faculty of Arts, 
Professional and Social Studies and offers undergraduate courses in 
Creative Writing, Drama, Film Studies, Journalism and Media Production 
and postgraduate courses in International Journalism, Writing and 
Screenwriting. The School prides itself in developing a warm and 
friendly environment with a strong commitment to nurturing and 
supporting creativity whilst offering excellent learning resources and 
first-class student support.


Film Studies is a well-established programme with a growing research 
profile and reputation, particularly in Film Festivals, Transnational 
Cinemas, European Film and Black American Culture.  The team currently 
comprises five full time members of staff, all of whom are research 
and/or professionally active and play a part in delivering undergraduate 
programmes. The Film Studies Programme at LJMU offers a hybrid model 
with all students undertaking theoretical/critical modules alongside 
practical filmmaking. The films that the students produce are of a very 
high standard, with a number being entered for festivals.


This area is developing its strategic priorities in research, 
postgraduate provision, public engagement, and enterprise activity. 
Reporting to the Programme Leader, the Lecturer / Senior Lecturer will 
play a role in a these developments as well as undertaking teaching and 
administrative duties across the Film Studies portfolio.

Liverpool has a strong filmic tradition; after London, it is the most 
filmed city in the UK. In 2012, filming levels increased by 22% with 894 
filming days taking place in the city.  In total, 227 films, programmes 
and adverts brought in £19 million to the local economy.


LJMU is proud to have connections with many local media production 
companies such as FACT, LA Productions, Lime Pictures, Liverpool Film 
Office, ITV and the BBC.
